Lake Tahoe Sextet

Flower-like in composition, Lake Tahoe, split between California and Nevada, is portrayed here six times, painted blue. Its mountainous surroundings are shown, appropriately, in shades of green. (Even the whimsical dark swirls at the center are not black, but a very very deep, dark green.) The ruddy orange tone at the extreme outer end of the lake represents Lake Tahoe's setting on the edge of The Great Basin, North America's highest and driest desert.

JFWOA - Joey Favino's WORLD Of Art

Cartographer, artist, alpinist, and master of semicoherence, Joey Favino's personality shines through his odd take on painting.

Having lived places as varied as Idaho, Maui, and the Hudson Highlands (with easy access to The Gunks), and having stayed with friends as far away as Kazakhstan and The Cape of Good Hope, he now thrives in Cedar City, Utah, U.S.A.

The forty-something-year-old sums it up succinctly: "Geography is destiny".
